Our Take

Tijuana Moods, darling, is like taking a musical trip south of the border with the one and only Charles Mingus. This numbered edition clear vinyl reissue is sure to transport you to a world of sultry jazz and spicy Latin rhythms.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're greeted with a cacophony of horns and percussion that are as vibrant and colourful as Tijuana itself. Mingus' adventurous compositions take you on a whirlwind tour of emotions, from the jubilant "Ysabel's Table Dance" to the brooding "Los Mariachis."

The musicianship on display here is nothing short of extraordinary, with Mingus leading the charge with his signature upright bass grooves that are as fluid and dynamic as ever. The interplay between the saxophone and trumpet players is like a conversation between old friends, with each musician adding their own unique voice to the mix.

But what really sets Tijuana Moods apart is Mingus' willingness to push boundaries and blur genres. He seamlessly blends traditional jazz with Latin influences, creating a sound that is both familiar and foreign at the same time. It's a testament to his versatility as a composer and bandleader.

So, if you're looking for an album that will make you want to dance, cry, and everything in between, Tijuana Moods is just the ticket. Put on your dancing shoes, pour yourself a margarita, and let Charles Mingus take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers, darling.

His albums, such as "Mingus Ah Um" and "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady," are considered classics of the genre, pushing the boundaries of what jazz could be. With his complex compositions and virtuosic playing, Mingus proved time and time again that he was a true master of his craft. So, if you're looking for music that will challenge and inspire you, look no further than Charles Mingus.
